    Aftermarket external reverse gearbox?

    The hydraulics and PTO are an issue, thank you for pointing them out. I was thinking of a front loader, not a rear mounted one. That should clear up some confusion. While it does have a cab, I'm not worried about using it. Now knowing that the accessories are driven directly off the...

    Aftermarket external reverse gearbox?

    You are absolutely correct lol. I don't need a wheel loader. I want to make the tractor that I have as useful as possible, and make a fun project out of it as well. Making this thing a loader machine isn't the end all be all, just an idea I was kicking around. If you notice in my previous reply...

    Aftermarket external reverse gearbox?

    I was planning on using a 7.3 idi. Gonna need to build a frame for it anyway so the making space for it is no big deal. Keeping the dual power would be nice, but if it doesn't work oh well. It would be easier if I could mate the reverser onto the engine, even if it means a custom bell housing...

    Aftermarket external reverse gearbox?

    Good morning all, Been kicking around the idea of engine swapping the old Ford 8600 sitting in the fence row. The idea just happened upon me to add a reverser to the back of the engine so that maybe it will do better with a loader. Just looking for suggestions on where to find a gearbox...

    Super 55 Charging

    Good afternoon all, The old '56 super 55 got a professional generator rebuild last month. I got it put on but hadn't done much with it until recently. Come to find out, the new generator doesn't charge at all. The wiring harness is original, and I do have a replacement waiting for time...

    Deere 337 Baler

    Bought a decent 337 recently. It had sat for 10+ years in a barn prior to my buying it. Looking for advice on service before I go work it hard. Already replaced the flywheel bushing and checked over the knotters. More specifically how much oil does the gearbox need, and how should I check it...

    White 2-105 draft control

    It does not have a knob. I did some more looking in the book and found my answer. On the early models there was no in cab draft adjustment. However,there is an adjustment pin on the back end of the tractor. It has 3 settings: off, low and high. Mine was in low. I bumped it up to high and it...

    White 2-105 draft control

    I looked in the operators manual and both the cat 2 and 3 hitches had d/c, I was wondering if not having it was an option. Jp0503

    White 2-105 draft control

    Started plowing with the 105 the other day, but had a heck of a time getting it to go. Finally took a look at it and realized there seems to be no draft control. Was that an option back in the day, and if that is my case how hard is it to add that function? Jp0503

    656 bolster leaking from seal on bottom

    Cat guy has basically got it. I did the same repair just a couple years ago. I recommend pulling the front axle all the way out, doing so will give you loads more space. Start off by pulling the radiator. Underneath is a dome shaped cap. Take that off to reveal a spanner nut and locking...

    White 2-105 Throttle Wandering

    My 105s throttle lever wanders down by itsself while the tractor is in motion. To me it seems like a spring is missing or broken, but I cannot find any on the linkage or in my parts book. Do any of you know how that linkage is tensioned?

    White 2-105 Oil Leaks

    Got a 78 2-105 that's in the shop for a few minor fixes right now. The turbo stared leaking oil over the winter, and the best quote I've found to rebuild it was almost 1k. Do any of you know where to look to find something more budget friendly? I found one on turbochargers direct, but at a...

    5050 auxiliary hydraulics

    I'm looking at a FWA 5050 with the intention of putting a loader on it. I know the main hydraulic system on those tractors wasn't the greatest, and I have seen some with auxiliary pumps that mount right above the pto on the rear end. Do any of you know about those pumps, or where to find...

    White 2-60 power steering

    I've got a 76 2-60 that leaks oil from the power steering cylinder really bad. I've looked all over the internet and can't seem to find a new cylinder or rebuild kit for the one I've got. Any leads on parts are appreciated. Additionally, the P.S. doesn't work well to the right, and when...

    Super 55 Governor

    Ive got a 56 super 55 that goes straight to redline upon startup. I got it last year after it sat for ~8 years. I rebuilt the carb myself and havent adjusted it properly yet. What else should I check to troubleshoot the high idle?
